    Someone shared this with me on FB last night. Do these idiots just sit around dreaming up ways to waste our money? Of course they teach them how to get subsidies, we always need more farmers getting something for nothing. I’m sure they also told them how to get subsidies for not farming as well.
    I guess the USDA doesn’t know most of those men have wives who are farmers? I’d like to know where those rich farmers are at as well. Maybe those getting subsidies?
    Money wasted for how many people? According to government data, farmers now make up less than 1% of the population, 14% of that 1% are women and gays and lesbians make up 3% of the overall population. Their own numbers show there can’t be very many lesbian farmers.

                    The Rat propaganda machine will find or fabricate some fat white guy redneck with bad teeth sitting in an airboat complaining that his trailer and his outhouse went underwater. They’ll run the ad in the urban battleground areas, having dialogue dubbed in for the more innercity areas where the vic complains on how the flood’s cut into his time he’d normally use to oppress loca black residents. For those more recent adherents to the Rat teat the dubbing can be changed to meet whatever divisive dialogues the ideologues think will work.
                    Hillary will be sold like whatever ethnically targeted commodity is being pushed in this marketing cycle.

                    Ran outta reply space, but Obama said he’ll bring some when he shows on Tuesday.
                    What this should show on a national level is that even though Louisiana has a large black Democratic population, many of whom were again disproportionately effected by the flooding, Obama and Hillary don’t really care about them as they serve neither any good. Obama’s decided, after a shipload of bad press, to show up next week, knowing that his loyal followers will interpret this as sign of his love and support. Hillary sees they don’t have the disposable income to send large dobations to her ample foundation and, in their consumptive numbers, reduce the Federal resources she and Bill will plunder – so why bother coming? Realpolitik.

                  • You would think that the folks there would recognize that O put golfing before his people, which he routinely does. I’m not sure why they even like him as they have zero in common. To me BO and Mooch are like carpetbaggers enriching themselves off the backs of the poor. We can throw Hill-lies-a-lot and Bubba in that same category.

              Louisiana’s new liberal Rat governor didn’t show up to greet/brief Trump, then again were my POtuS idol as idle as Barry’s been I think I’d have saved myself the embarrassment of showing up too. Top state Republicans showed up, briefed Trump and toured with him.
              MREs finally showed up in the disaster area, first signs that Feds are slithering in and ready to take credit for any rescue and recovery ops. Expect POtuS’s PR team to start looking for a clean and photogenic flood victim so Obama can be photoed sharing (OK, holding) a MRE with him/her.

    “DEMOCRAT-HEAVY SAMPLE NETS BETTER NEWS FOR TRUMP”

    “Among the same Democrat-heavy sample: 26% say they voted for Romney in 2012, 42% say they are leaning toward Trump in 2016.”
    “Another poll; another way to spin.”
    “Earlier this week, I showed how the reporting on a Bloomberg poll could be skewed to make results look more or less positive for a given candidate.”
    “Today, we look at a Washington Post/ABC News poll that also purports to show a widening Clinton lead over Trump – by 8 points: 50% to 42%. This may well be the case. However, looking at the poll sample numbers, there’s some relevant context not reported in news stories.”
    “Read the Washington Post/ABC News poll”
    “The poll interviewed 10% more people who identify as Democrats (33%) than Republicans (23%), with the largest group (36%) calling themselves independent. So with 10% more Democrats than Republicans questioned, Clinton leads Trump by 8-points.” More at:

    It looks like some rocket scientists figured out that when applied to the skull, “stones” from the ground might be used as an organic cure for insomnia.

      This &&&& never ends, we had the exact same arguements over rocks/stones found in proximity of sites we were digging. Were they weapons? Were they pounding tools? Were they stones thstvwere heated and dropped into pots to heat food? Or were they plain old round river rocks? The Popeil Stone-o-Matic: it chops, it dices, it squashes and in a pinch you can use it to smack the holy **** out of an unruly Australopithecus!
      When you look at the battaliobs of archeologists and anthropologists graduated each year you get an idea of why these arguements happen – everyone of them’s fighting for recognition.

    Seen on Facebook:

    Please note that Trump has visited Louisiana looking presidential, forced Obama to go there on Tuesday, left Hillary looking weak by NOT going, gotten Mary Landreau to thank him, talked to Franklin Graham and Tony Perkins about church efforts, gone to Michigan and given a dynamite speech, all in ONE DAY!

    Plus, got Manafort off the team due to crap stuff about Ukraine, new team on board, mastered teleprompter, and still home tonight to Manhattan. Plus new TV ads!

    On time and under budget!

    Learned an interesting factoid tonight (background – neighbor behind me is an aging hippie, also – but his tastes are a tad different. Plus, he lives on his back porch so if I go out to smoke he exposes moi to his musical choices at any hour of the night. Which doesn’t bother me.) Anyhow, since I’ve already osmosissed the entire wording of “Stairway To Heaven,” I just assumed “Dream On” was Led Zep, too.
